From the shop owner: “We carry mainly semi precious stones, but also coloured and handicraft beads, silver accessories, 925 silver and rings”.
Updated Feb 6, 2007
I came here last Saturday just to peek at what they have in store. Strands of semi-precious stones hang on the right wall while focal beads and pendants are stored neatly in little drawers on the left side of the shop. Their stones range is not as wide as Beads Etc but they carry interesting types such as the black lava stone. Price is reasonable and they sell half-strand for some of the beads.
In the middle of the shop is the glass/lampwork beads. Glass beads are usually a dime a dozen in every bead shop but I find that the lampwork beads sold here have better quality although selections are quite limited.
Overall, I enjoy the quiet and cozy ambiance here. Very refreshing compared to the hectic bead shops in Chinatown where I have to jostle with fellow shoppers and their little kids. Hopefully they can expand the shop and add more variety to the semi-precious.
hey thank you so much for your review on the bead shops because i’ve recently started making jewellery for a hobby and it indeed helped because i was puzzled as there were so many shops and i couldn’t decide on any. thank you again! (:
Chic decor!love it!
Popped by the shop at lunch today. Love the place! They did have quite a nice selection of those metallic parts as well, and the prices are quite reasonable too if you compare with the few shops along Arab street.
Thanks so much for listing this shop on your site!
